Yang Xinghan went alone to Lou Qingyun's house to discuss countermeasures. Not only did Lou Qingyun host him with fine wine and a lavish meal, but he also eagerly offered advice and strategies. The dinner lasted from nightfall until the dead of night.
The next day, Lou Qingyun's wife, Mei Hongjuan, asked him how the discussion had gone and if they had come up with any good solutions. Lou Qingyun never kept secrets from his wife—nor did he dare to—so he told Mei Hongjuan everything he had discussed with Yang Xinghan the previous night.
After listening to her husband, Mei Hongjuan fell into deep thought. Then, she reminded him that the Lou family didn't actually need to muddy the waters by getting involved. The only reason Yang Xinghan was in such a frantic panic must be because Mr. Guo had some kind of leverage over him.
